How does it feel in your hand and pocket after a few days or so?

[johnner1999]

I know everyone is different and not expecting anyone to tell me what phone to get

BUT

I am curious people are with this device after a few days of use. I?m a guy with average hands, maybe a big larger - and wear ?cargo? pants (or what ever they are called now-a-days) to be the Note2 feels too wide in the hand (I know its about .25? narrower which isn?t much but?.

I was going to ?suffer? with the Samsung S4 as I like the 5? icy screen size and feel of the device, but the OLED screen I?m not a fan off, between outdoor issues and color quality its a tough one to suffer with. The ONE screen is a tad too small and I prefer TouchWiz or LG?s skin to Sense.

thanks all

Feels fine. My wife's S4 seems small and the screen looks off after looking at my GP, but I don't like Amoled. I mostly wear casual pants for work and it was fine in my pocket on Friday and for my jeans it's fine.

I'm in the same boat. I went into a store the other day to compare the HTC One and Galaxy S4, and came away liking the Optimus G Pro better than either of them! The screen on the G Pro is stunning, I like the LG skin better than the others, the build quality feels good, and it includes 32GB and microSD for $200 on contract. (The off contract price is very good too.) My concern is the size. If it was the exact same phone with a 5" screen, I would definitely buy it over the S4. But I just don't know if I can get used to such a big phone. As a test I cut out a piece of cardboard of the same length/width and tried carrying that in my pocket for a bit. It did feel huge. At this point I'm inclined to pay the extra $50 for the 32GB S4 and put up with the inferior (in my opinion) AMOLED screen just for the smaller device.

Nothing wrong with that. That's how I ended up with the LG Optimus G (not pro). I did not go into the store looking to buy it, but the screen and performance won me over.
Another reason I wanted the GP was I'm sick of taking my tablet to work with me all the time and this works out for both.

My response might be somewhat unfair only due to the fact that I do have big hands, but I have no problem in any way making way around this phone at all. Can't comment on the pocket thing cause been wearing shorts all weekend lol, but I dont think it should be a problem. When I pick up my htc one it seems so small and tiny since I've been using this.

Yup I know....

Two days after sitting my S4 down to use the OG Pro. I have to say it feels good. Took a day to get used to the increased size over the S4, but the phone is just so much smoother than the S4 with the LG skin over Android. I just hope AT&T doesn't disappoint us with updates for this phone.

I've had this phone a few days now and I love the thing! Was using the Galaxy S4 before trying the GP...thought I might revert back to the S4 the first half day...but the more I used the GP, the more love the small details. The skin is lightweight (and useful), the extra external button for launching another app is great. The screen is marvelous, especially outside...it blows the S4 away if you use it outside. Not sure why so many reviews talk about it feeling cheap...I think the phone is actually pretty nice build-wise...it's no HTC One but it's good. I also have big hands so to me it's not bad at all to handle and it fits in my pocket fine. Really love this phone...and I've tried them all.

Thanks every one, especially those that have a S4 to compare it to!

Whom ever picked those blueberries to have on the demo wallpaper should get a raise as that really sold me.

Feels good in the hand. Its a big phone but feels better than a "phablet". It's my daily with my Htc One and S4 on the desk. All 3 very good phones

It is an addiction lol. Not a bad one though. I am loving this phone. This and the Htc One are Android top dogs in my experience so far. Loving the Optimus G Pro. If out had front facing speakers it would be the perfect phone

Just have to say again this phone is a beast. Runs smooth as silk, great screen,good battery life,plenty of internal and external storage, great call quality and cost the least out of the top flagships. If they would market right it could really do well

What about accessories? I am also considering this phone but it seems like there will hardly be any developer or accessory support?

Thoughts??

Not much out there yet. It being new and only on at&t in the state's seems to hurt it some. It really is a heart phone. Only thing knock I see is size which is also a plus just depends on the person. Performance wise it's fantastic...well except the browser won't double tap to zoom

A lot of cases on Amazon and wireless charging pads that can be used from LG and other brands. What accessories could you possibly want?

I haven't seen that many cases on Amazon. A few TPU ones that don't ship for weeks. Order one myself

Hi. I don't have the LG Optimus Pro but was interested in obtaining the blueberry wallpaper. Can anyone share that? Thanks.
